monkeyman67 Valued Member United States 439 Posts	Posted 02/01/2011 12:40 pm I have been through quite a few hald dollar boxes and I think that anyone who searches rolls would know silver from nonsilver. If it quacks like a duck and looks like a duck it is a silver coin. Just a very rare one. I hope so at least because it will help me got throught the next box. Can't wait to here.

lincolncentguy Pillar of the Community United States 809 Posts	Posted 02/02/2011 11:11 am In the Red Book it does say.."A few of the pieces dated 1971-D and 1977-D were struck in silver clad composition by error." But it gives no values on those coins. Report this Post to the Staff
coinxing New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 02/02/2011 11:47 am Would the 1971-D have the letter D on the coin? Or is this one of those cases where the location of where the coin was minted not on the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188197 Posts	Posted 02/02/2011 11:54 am It would have the D on the coin. The mint mark is on the die. Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff

hybes Valued Member United States 183 Posts	Posted 02/03/2011 11:17 pm Spoke to the coin shop sending out the coin. She said she sent it to pcgs not ngc and it didn't go out until the 25th. Little bit disappointed but it will be nice to have it in a pcgs slab! Report this Post to the Staff

It would be a shame for the coin to come back as a regular graded Kennedy and not be checked. Report this Post to the Staff
hybes Valued Member United States 183 Posts	Posted 02/04/2011 12:02 am I asked her and she said she would request a specific gravity test to check metal content, and she would specify on the submission form. Report this Post to the Staff
